amongst Jordanian universities. JUST leading theme is serving the
national economy through qualifying graduates with the potentials

the fields of medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, engineering,
agriculture, veterinary medicine, computer science or natural

Campus
The
JUST campus is located approximately 20 km east of
Irbid in northern Jordan and covers an area of
approximately 11 km². In addition to academic
buildings and the JUST Library, the campus includes athletic
facilities including a 7000-seat soccer stadium.
Jordan
University of Science and Technology is also home to King Abdullah
Universitarian Hospital
, the 683-bed teaching hospital affiliated with JUST
and its medical faculties.
The university contains two main campuses, known as: the
Medicine Faculties Building and the
Engineering Faculties Building. Students can use
available buses to move from one campus to the other. And there is
also a mini train which is not often used. But since the distance
between the two isn't relatively that long many prefer walking.

There are two libraries: one in the
Engineering Faculties
Building and the other is in the
Medicine
Faculties Building. While both libraries give the students
an appropriate and suitable place for reading and studying, the
two-floor library at the
Medicine Faculties
Building, which is relatively larger, also contains
115,000 books, and 45,000 volumes of back issues of periodicals.
which makes it the main library at this university. Currently, a
new library is being built at the area between the
Engineering Faculties Building and the
Medicine Faculties Building which is larger than
both existingAside from the employees and guests restaurants, there
are also three restaurant for the student: One in each main campus,
and one located near the soccer stadium. In addition, the
Medicine Faculties Building contains a mini market
where students can find items which they may not find in
restaurants.
Every department has a computer lab for the students to use. There
are also two open labs one in each campus. Moreover, six additional
labs are available for the graduate, undergraduate computer science
students and students who are taking computer science courses at
the PH building located at the
Medicine Faculties
Building.
Of the many universities gates, only two gates are probably the
most familiar in the eyes of the students which are: the main gate
and the
Engineering Faculties Building's gate. The
main gate, which is newer than the other, leads nearly to the
middle of the way between the two main campuses. The other gate
leads to the
Engineering Faculties Building
